While events can happen unintentionally, there does need to be reporting of it. There could be the procedure that needs to be changed or someone needs a slap upside the head, either way it needs to happen before someone gets killed. A little paperwork now could prevent a lot of paperwork in the future.

BTW, rampers are allowed access to NASA's ASRS program. One would use the general reporting form unless a mechanic: ASRS - Aviation Safety Reporting System

A general report a ramper filed on static discharge during a fueling operation due to a new ramp seal made its way up the chain at the airline where I was working, where several ramps were due to be sealed potentially having the same problem. Due to the report, the airline did tests, and the problem was resolved before something bad happened.
